As Canada’s only national non-profit health and benefits company, GreenShield believes health care is a right, not a privilege. We’re dedicated to improving health outcomes, driving systemic change, and building a future where every Canadian can reach their full health and well-being potential. As a non-profit social enterprise, GreenShield doesn’t have shareholders - this allows us to prioritize and reinvest our excess earnings to directly support underserved communities. Through GreenShield Cares, we committed $75 million to improve the health of over one million Canadians by 2025, focusing on essential medicines, mental health, and chronic disease management. Our next objective is to leverage $125M of our own resources and collaborate with other funders to impact 3 million lives by 2030.
Within our mission of Better Health for All, we have prioritized impact on equity-seeking groups - this includes women, youth, and racialized, 2SLGBTQIA+ and low-income people. While reach is important, we are particularly interested in programs that offer depth of support during critical life transitions. We also understand that strong partnerships are built over time. While some collaborations may begin as pilots, our goal is to develop trusted relationships that evolve into long-term partnerships, potentially co-creating new programs, tools, and ways of working together
